Customer Reviews of PikStik Pro Aluminum Reacher, 32 Inch, Yellow
Customer Review: Good option out of what's available for reachers
Summary: 4 Stars
I got out of rehabilitation hospital with the Duro-Med aluminum reacher, but decided to try a different brand when I wanted an additional reacher to see if it would be better.
If you are lifting with the tips of the claw of the PikStik reacher, you will not be able to lift much more than 1 lb. No matter how hard you squeeze to close the claw, the materials that make up the tips of the claw are not strong enough to withstand the desire of the item being held to be dropped down. The rod of the PikStik is metal, but the claw is plastic and resin. The Duro-Med was actually better for me when gripping things with the ends of the claw - probably because the materials of the claw portion were more solid and less moveable. With the Duro-Med, a heavy plastic bottom pinches up against the metal shaft, keeping a better grip and able to lift more weight.
The PikStik will hold more weight successfully when you can hold the item cradled in the curved part of the reacher up against the shaft. The opening to the claw was wider than the Duro-Med, so I am able to lift a wider variety of items with the PikStik. It helps to grab items somewhere at their bottom half. I feel better about grabbing for containers made of glass than I did with the Duro-Med because the PikStik has resin lining. Somehow because of that, I feel like there's more of a buffer and the glass is less likely to break if I squeeze hard. I've been able to lift full paper towel rolls and kitchen containers. The fact you can rotate the head of the reacher to work on a horizontal or vertical plane is a big plus - no more need to twist the wrist.
I appreciate the ability to lock the grip on the claw. An example of how this was useful: I locked a piece of paper towel in between the claw tips and used it to reach up and clear out a cobweb. I could then roll myself (wheelchair) to the trash can without having to worry about keeping the grip on the reacher to keep the paper towel in place. I could just lay the reacher with paper towel gripped in the locked mode across my lap and have hands to roll comfortably. The lever to lock/unlock the grip of the claw is on the main handle where you're holding the reacher - you don't have to touch the end of the claw to undo grip which is nice in case it's been touching things you don't want to.
Neither reacher I've had experience with has been the perfect one, but each has been useful and good enough to deal with basic needs. I would be happier if the PikStik could hold more weight at the tips of the claw.
